My family crest is an armored and gauntleted arm holding a torch with 3 balls in a triangle. Not so intimidating or inspirational.

Wow, I'd be pretty pissed if I had bought a blast.

Hey America, remember how we sold you thousands of motorcycles called Blasts? Remember that? Funny story, it turns out that they were shitty, gutless bikes for wimps and little girls. LOL
Seriously though, that sucks you paid thousands of dollars for them, you should just throw them away because they're girlie and crappy and you should buy a NEW BLAST when we release it.
Isn't that clever how we turned the shortcomings of a low quality product we sold you into a hip, edgy marketing campaign for a new bike we want to sell you?

Actually the new Buell marketing campaign is really avante guard. Check their ads in RRW, Sportrider, and Motorcyclist. Pretty aggressive and ballsy, wouldnt have been the same with a blast in the fold!!

I wouldn't expect to see the Blast re-introduced.

Why? they were boring crappy little beginner bikes. What ad campaign has ever not said the new version of a product is better than the old? This one is just more direct.
